Key Calculus Terms and definitions covered in this textbook
-
Arccotangent function
See Inverse cotangent function.
-
Binomial theorem
A theorem that gives an expansion formula for (a + b)n
-
Coefficient of determination
The number r2 or R2 that measures how well a regression curve fits the data
-
Coordinate(s) of a point
The number associated with a point on a number line, or the ordered pair associated with a point in the Cartesian coordinate plane, or the ordered triple associated with a point in the Cartesian three-dimensional space
-
Data
Facts collected for statistical purposes (singular form is datum)
-
Direction vector for a line
A vector in the direction of a line in three-dimensional space
-
Geometric sequence
A sequence {an}in which an = an-1.r for every positive integer n ? 2. The nonzero number r is called the common ratio.
-
Imaginary part of a complex number
See Complex number.
-
Independent variable
Variable representing the domain value of a function (usually x).
-
Limit
limx:aƒ1x2 = L means that ƒ(x) gets arbitrarily close to L as x gets arbitrarily close (but not equal) to a
-
Linear equation in x
An equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are real numbers and a Z 0
-
Linear function
A function that can be written in the form ƒ(x) = mx + b, where and b are real numbers
-
Magnitude of a vector
The magnitude of <a, b> is 2a2 + b2. The magnitude of <a, b, c> is 2a2 + b2 + c2
-
Mathematical induction
A process for proving that a statement is true for all natural numbers n by showing that it is true for n = 1 (the anchor) and that, if it is true for n = k, then it must be true for n = k + 1 (the inductive step)
-
Quartic function
A degree 4 polynomial function.
-
Sinusoidal regression
A procedure for fitting a curve y = a sin (bx + c) + d to a set of data
-
Speed
The magnitude of the velocity vector, given by distance/time.
-
Statistic
A number that measures a quantitative variable for a sample from a population.
-
Tangent line of ƒ at x = a
The line through (a, ƒ(a)) with slope ƒ'(a) provided ƒ'(a) exists.
-
Upper bound for real zeros
A number d is an upper bound for the set of real zeros of ƒ if ƒ(x) ? 0 whenever x > d.
